Overview
Slovenia's regulatory quality stood at 0.53 in 2025, a decline of +0.20 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.53 by 2025. Slovenia ranked 61st globally.
Slovenia's Regulatory Quality has exhibited a decline over the past 26 years, with the indicator value dropping to 0.53 in 2025, ranking it #61 globally. This marks a significant decline from its peak value of 1.09 in 1996, when the country was in its early stages of transition. Since then, Slovenia's regulatory environment has become less favorable, with the country failing to match the regulatory quality of its peers such as Costa Rica, which ranked higher with a value of 0.55 in 2025. In comparison to other Central European countries, Slovenia's current score is on par with the Slovak Republic, but lags behind Spain's 0.56. The downward trend in Regulatory Quality may be attributed to various factors, including bureaucratic red tape and corruption. To reverse this trend, Slovenia might need to implement more robust reforms aimed at streamlining its regulatory framework and enhancing transparency, thereby improving its business environment and economic competitiveness.
